Chapter 100 Dispute
Brother Li asked again: "Are there any relatives at home?"
"I have a brother."
Wen Youheng listened to Brother Li's series of questions like he was checking a household registration, took a step forward, and with his tall body straightened his back, blocked Brother Li's silent gaze for Shao Leyan, and couldn't help but interrupt.
"Brother, didn't I tell you her basic situation? Why are you asking again?"
Brother Li rolled his eyes at Wen Youheng and angrily asked, "You little brat, what's wrong with me asking? You've finally gotten your chance, so I shouldn't check this beautiful woman's background for you."
Wen Youheng blushed instantly and quickly waved his hands to explain: "You misunderstood, we are not that kind of relationship."
"Don't try to fool me. You took someone in to live in your house even though you didn't like them, and even found them a job. How could I not remember that you're a very dedicated and kind person?"
"Brother," Wen Youheng said, his face looking like a monkey's butt, his upper and lower lips fighting with anxiety, and he stuttered, "Miss Shao...she cured my grandmother, and I do all this to...to repay her."
Brother Li saw through it but didn't say anything. A light snort escaped his throat, "Hmph! You're lucky, kid!"
Shao Leyan was surprised at the other side of Wen Youheng besides his aloofness and indifference. When facing Brother Li, he was like a little boy, without any maturity, stability, indifference or solemnity at all.
However, these characteristics of Wen Youheng have nothing to do with her. She just needs an opportunity to take root in the Chiyan District and then get to know some leadership figures. Then her mission will be half completed.
While the three were chatting, a man suddenly ran in from the store door. The man was in a panic and tripped over his left foot and fell in front of Brother Li with a "bang".
Brother Li was speechless at his subordinate's recklessness, but he still asked patiently, "Xiao Wang, what's the matter that has you so anxious?"
Xiao Wang fell down and grimaced, bending over and rubbing his knees, but the pain could not bring him back to his senses from the panic.
"My...my pet, Lord Xing Lu's new pet was hit by a car!"
Brother Li's heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled down and his tone returned to its normal calm.
"Oh, I thought it was something urgent and important. So what? Even if that pretty boy is dead, it's just retribution for Xing Lu's many sins."
Xiao Wang looked embarrassed, his hands twisted into a knot on his stomach.
"But... the one who hit him was one of Lord Li Shu's men. Not only did he hit Lord Xing Lu's new favorite, he also escaped after hitting her."
"What?"
Brother Li was shocked and suddenly felt dizzy when he stood up. His legs went weak and he was about to fall back into his seat.
Wen Youheng quickly supported Brother Li and frowned at the trembling Xiao Wang: "Go on."
"After Lord Xing Lu found out, he brought people to cause trouble for Lord Li Shu. Now the two sides are at a stalemate. If a fight breaks out, and the leader returns and finds out, we'll all be in trouble."
Shao Leyan was confused as she listened to this. She didn't recognize any of them, such as Xing Lu and Li Shu.
It was not until she heard the title of the leader of the Red Flame District that she became curious about the matter.
It seems that these two groups are not unknown minions in the Chiyan District. They are able to cause the leader to intervene in the confrontation. They should both hold an important position in the leadership of the Chiyan District.
Maybe he is a subordinate who can communicate directly with the leader.
After hearing this, Brother Li's temples began to beat fast. He tugged at Wen Youheng's sleeves, and his tone was no longer as tough as it was at the beginning.
"Youheng, come with me to take a look."
Wen Youheng nodded and turned to look at Shao Leyan who was thinking with his head down.
"Le Yan, you stay here and help look after the store. I'll come back and pick you up after I finish my work."
After saying that, Wen Youheng followed Brother Li and prepared to leave.
When he passed Shao Leyan, he felt a strong pull from behind. He paused and saw Shao Leyan grabbing the corner of his clothes. He asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Shao Leyan's eyes were bright and he said bluntly: "Take me with you!"
Chiyan District, Shuxin Lane.
Li Shu crossed her arms and stared at Xing Lu, who was glaring at her angrily from three meters away. Her gaze then shifted to the crowd of people from Xingyundao behind her, and her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly.
"Xing Lu, are you here to mess things up today?"
Xing Lu clapped her hands, and four people walked out from behind her, carrying a stretcher with a man covered in blood lying on it.
Xing Lu was so angry that the flesh on her face was shaking. Her index finger with bright red nail polish pointed at Li Shu's face that looked down on people. If the hatred in her tone could turn into a sharp sword, it would definitely pierce Li Shu into a sieve.
"It was your men who hit my baby and left him on the road and ran away. You should know how dangerous it is to have an incapacitated and bloody man here, right?"
Li Shu pretended to shout in surprise, covering his mouth, but a smile emerged from his crescent-shaped eyes.
"I was in the car at the time. Did it really hit someone? Why don't I remember it?"
"Don't try to deny it. I have evidence," Xing Lu pulled out the memory card containing the surveillance footage. "I know you're picking on me when the leader's away. Without a high-level healing psychic, my baby can only barely hang on. But if he dies before the leader returns, I'll make you pay with your life!"
"Whose life do you want to pay for?"
A deep male voice came from the door, and the volume was not low, so everyone present could hear it.
Li Shu's face lit up with joy, and he hurried to greet her. He even bumped into Xing Lu on purpose when passing by.
"Li Shu you!"
Xing Lu looked at Li Shu holding Li Song's arm in frustration, but her eyes were attracted by Wen Youheng who was following behind Li Song, and she saw a strange woman appear beside him.
She has a face like a peach blossom, skin like cream, a pure and smart appearance, and a figure that can arouse people's primitive desires. She is a beauty that both men and women recognize.
This is completely different from a woman like her who has struggled in the Red Flame District, sacrificed her soul and life for survival, and then fallen into depravity.
It was like an orchid taking root and blooming on the edge of a cliff mixed with mud and blood, so out of tune with the atmosphere of the Red Flame Zone.
She was jealous.
Can't help but go crazy.
"Li Song, I know you favor your sister, but she was wrong this time. I'm here to ask her for an explanation. You won't chase me away, right?"
Li Song's eyes flashed, and then he put on a smile, and his hearty laughter was particularly abrupt.
"Xing Lu, she's just a toy anyway. If you want her, you can pick any one from my new recruit camp."
Xing Lu curled her lips provocatively, shifted her gaze to Wen Youheng, who had an expressionless face and remained silent, and sneered.
"When I first asked you for Wen Youheng, you weren't as easy to talk to as you are today."
Shao Leyan turned his head unexpectedly and looked at Wen Youheng. He didn't even blink, as if the person Xing Lu was talking about just now was not him.
Li Song waved his hand. "Isn't that because the abilities don't match? Xiao Wen is a space-based ability user. Is he going to be a shock trooper in your Xingyun Dao?"
"It's just a pet that comes and goes at will. To put it bluntly, you just can't bear to let it go."
